13-year-old music lover Macaroni lives in Melbourne, Australia, where his owners also run a sandwich shop called Applewood Deli with their friend Jasper Arrowsmith-Todd.
Named in homage to Macaroni and his canine brother Lenny, the pups frequently appear on the deli’s Instagram page, where they are a huge hit.
But it is Maraconi’s love of music that has gained attention online.
“He’s pretty easygoing and loves an array of music. Never hogs the Spotify and likes it when we curate the playlist, even if it kicks a little harder,” Arbatov said. “Mind you, we’re pretty wary of his age, so we turn down the low frequency just enough for him to enjoy the music and still be comfortable.”
There is evidence that Macaroni isn’t the only dog who reacts to music.
In 2002, psychologist Deborah Wells of Queens University, Belfast, examined the influence of music on our canine friends.
Working with 50 dogs in a rescue shelter, Wells recorded the animal’s reactions when they listened to pop music, classical music, and heavy metal.
While some music didn’t appear to have any impact on dogs, it was revealed that heavy-metal songs often prompted barking and agitation, while classical music had a calming effect.
“When he’s not listening to music, he likes trying to catch flies and eating schmackos but is a couch potato at heart,” said Arbatov.
“I see we have a dog of culture among us,” joked another commenter.
Another Redditor joked: “Bruh, there are like no brain cells in that dog’s head, and I’m fine with that. He loves what he loves.”
